If information is power, timely information is money made or saved. Our mandate at SmallCap Digest is to bring you timely information that will do both. Well, as hard as it is to believe, we just got better. In addition to our twice or thrice weekly missives, we are pleased to launch the SCBlog. The content will be updated frequently and will bring you the following: Breaking news you need to know, now. Trading ideas--both buys and sells. News and views of eclectic happenings around the world that could/would/should move the markets. Trading tips and tricks Updates on our followed stocks and sectors as well as market movers. Your comments and our comments on your comments. That should be fun. A blog is like a diary or journal that will allow us to both update readers quickly and add more personal commentary for context. We don't have the time to waste on fluff and neither do you. Some blogs are more personal, some more informational. We will firmly straddle both. We're confident that you'll find the result compelling. No worries, the SmallCap Digest newsletter will continue as always: the blog will merely augment the timeliness as well as add significant value for our readers. And you can leave comments at the SCBlog. We'll highlight and comment on the best. And, as with the SmallCap Digest, the SCBlog is free. For those early adopters with newsreaders such as Pluck (PC) or NetNewswire (MAC), you can subscribe to the SCBlog through our various RSS feeds at our blog site and be alerted when content changes or is added. Cool. Truly. Blogs are undoubtedly the next big thing on the Internet. They allow folks to deliver information, give opinions and comments in a conversational fashion, develop a voice and cut through convention. Most importantly, since blogs are web-based and don't rely on email, those issues are bypassed. You can visit SCBlog at your leisure or subscribe to it through a newsfeed as noted above and be alerted when content changes. And, from our perspective, we can comb newsfeeds for you to find pieces that are of critical interest or import to our readers. Or bring out those stories that are just plain fun. We're excited about this initiative and since we've always strived to give our readers the best, that's exactly what they'll get. Anything less wouldn't be the SmallCap Network. Drop by the SCBlog and check it out. All comments and observations welcome. Really. We'll print the best.   We Value Your Feedback Got comments, questions or suggestions?
